Abstract

Compositions and methods related to the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) including viral pneumonia through the pharmaceutical manipulation of calcium signaling are disclosed. Such compositions and methods may be used to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine releases that may lead to ALI and/or ARDS.

Claims (20)

1 . A method for treating acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an intracellular Calcium signaling inhibitor to said subject.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ALI or ARDS comprises pneumonia.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the pneumonia comprises a viral pneumonia.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the viral pneumonia comprises a viral pneumonia due to a coronavirus, an adenovirus, an influenza virus, a rhinovirus, or a respiratory syncytial virus.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the viral pneumonia comprises a viral pneumonia due to a coronavirus.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the coronavirus is SARS-COV, SARS-COV-2, or MERS-COV.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the coronavirus is SARS-COV-2.

8 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the viral pneumonia comprises a viral pneumonia due to an influenza virus.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the influenza virus comprises influenza A, influenza B, influenza C, or influenza D.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ALI or ARDS is caused by a ventilator.

11 . The method of claim 1 , subsequent to said administering a therapeutically effective amount of an intracellular Calcium signaling inhibitor, an expression level or circulating level of a cytokine is decreased from a baseline level in said subject.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-ω, and IFN-γ.

13 . The method of claim 1 , subsequent to said administering a therapeutically effective amount of an intracellular Calcium signaling inhibitor, an expression level or circulating level of D-dimer is decreased from a baseline level in said subject.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said intracellular Calcium signaling inhibitor is a compound having the structure of: N-(5-(6-ethoxy-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)pyrazin-2-yl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide, N-(5-(2-ethyl-6-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-5-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-3,5-difluoroisonicotinamide, N-(4-(1-ethyl-3-(thiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenyl)-2-fluorobenzamide, N-(5-(1-ethyl-3-(triflouromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyrazin-2-yl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzamide, 4-chloro-1-methyl-N-(4-(1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide, N-(4-(3-(difluoromethyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-fluorophenyl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide, N-(4-(3-(difluoromethyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-fluorophenyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzamide, N-(4-(3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-3-fluorophenyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzamide, 4-chloro-N-(3-fluoro-4-(1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide, 3-fluoro-4-(1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-N-((3-methylisothiazol-4-yl)methyl)aniline, N-(5-(7-chloro-2,3-dihydro-[1,4]dioxino[2,3-b]pyridin-6-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide, N-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-5-(1-ethyl-3-(thiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine, 3,5-difluoro-N-(3-fluoro-4-(3-methyl-1-(thiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenyl)isonicotinamide, 5-(1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-N-(2,4,6-trifluorobenzyl)pyridin-2-amine, N-(5-(1-ethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzamide, N-(5-(5-chloro-2-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-6-yl)pyrazin-2-yl)-2,6-difluorobenzamide, N-(5-(6-ethoxy-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)thiazol-2-yl)-2,3,6-trifluorobenzamide, N-(5-(1-ethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-2,3,6-trifluorobenzamide, 2,3,6-trifluoro-N-(3-fluoro-4-(1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenyl)benzamide, 2,6-difluoro-N-(4-(5-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)oxazol-4-yl)phenyl)benzamide, or N-(5-(6-chloro-2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)pyrazin-2-yl)-2-fluoro-6-methylbenzamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug thereof.

15 .
